Just ahead of Mother’s Day, one North Texas family is taking a decades\u2011old tradition to a whole new level.<\/p>\n
Tonight, they’re gathering for a Wheel of Fortune watch party that’s turning their nightly routine into a moment they’ll never forget.<\/p>\n
For years, Sukhdev Kaur has spent her evenings in front of the TV, watching Wheel of Fortune with her family.<\/p>\n
“From 1985.. I’ve watched from 85,” she said.<\/p>\n
A household built around the show<\/p>\n
“Every day, basically from 6:30 to 7 o’clock, nobody in our household is allowed to touch the remote,” Sawinder Singh said.<\/p>\n
They say it took auditions, interviews, and months of waiting before they were finally selected.<\/p>\n
“I was very excited!” Kaur said.<\/p>\n
“It was once in a lifetime opportunity, especially for people in the Sikh community, Sikh faith,” Gurvinder Singh said.<\/p>\n
Representing their culture on national TV<\/p>\n
“Thousands and thousands of people apply every year, which is a little intimidating, but at the end of the day, it didn’t deter me because I feel that I have a personality fitting for TV,” Sawinder said.<\/p>\n
On the show, they introduced Ryan Seacrest to a special dance form popular in their culture, and although they didn’t win the grand prize, they still walked away with $13,000.<\/p>\n
A moment the family won’t forget<\/p>\n
Having family and friends \u2013 and of course, their mom \u2013 cheering for every spin and puzzle solve made the moment even more special.<\/p>\n
“It was amazing,” she said. “Absolutely amazing!”<\/p>\n
Kaur says this Mother’s Day, she couldn’t be prouder of her sons, and now she’s even considering applying to be on the show herself.<\/p>\n
“I will try!” she said.<\/p>\n
